Now that Donald Trump's White House win has been certified, the hard work begins for Speaker Johnson

Speaker Johnson's push to pass Trump's agenda in one massive bill faces big hurdles
Approving Trump's plans for immigration, energy, tax policy and more in one multitrillion-dollar bill would be a daunting challenge. Johnson also wants to add a debt limit extension to it.
